Chief Economist at ANZ resigns

ANZ has announced the resignation of the bank's chief economist, Warren Hogan.

Hogan joined ANZ in 2005, and during his time with the bank ran the global markets research team and the Australian economics team. He was appointed chief economist in 2010. He was also a member of ANZs regional investment committee.

Acting managing director markets Shayne Collins said: "Warren has established a reputation as one of Australia's leading economic commentators and built a world-class team providing our customers with economic insights throughout the region. I would like to thank him for his significant contribution over the last ten years and wish him well in the future."

Hogan said of his departure: "It's been a privilege to work with so many talented people over the last ten years as we developed an economics function that is highly valued by our customers and our staff in 34 countries. While it's never an easy decision to leave such a rewarding role, the timing is right to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my young family."
